Ashley Lake is just plain beautiful! This trip was in the beginning of December and it was lightly snowing the whole time and about 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

Surrounded by great views of forest and mountain ranges this little lake is a peaceful piece of heaven. There's also quite a bit of coastline with some pretty properties to enjoy looking at as you float on by.

While the fish weren't too interested in the lures on this trip there are some gorgeous rainbow trout and large perch, among other species, in this lake.

Definitely a must see in the Flathead National Forest.
